1911 E. W. Ballantine in Evening News 18 Dec. 1/3 I see Hordern got Woolley with a ‘wrong 'un’. For the benefit of those who may not grasp what a ‘wrong 'un’ is, it may here be stated that the ‘wrong 'un’ is the ball which breaks the opposite way to that indicated by the bowler's action.

1926 H. Strudwick 25 Years behind Stumps 239 It is very difficult to detect his [sc. C. V. Grimmett's] ‘wrong un’!

1931 Daily Tel. 31 July 17/2 Weir deserved better of fate than to be bowled by Peebles' wrong 'un in the last over of the day.

1956 N. Cardus Close of Play 142 These devices were of no use against the mysterious and seemingly illogical spin of the ‘wrong 'un’.

1977 World of Cricket Monthly June 42/2 Neil showed who was the boss by repeatedly stepping out and driving Gupte's wrong 'uns to the fence.
